The standard air-stone just was not creating any foam so I called all over Canada's fastest growing city to find a wooden one...thanks Roger's Pets!

The wooden air-stone is generating lots of foam so that I have had to reduce airflow by 50% I am confident I should get some skimate soon.

That's pretty ingenious to use a syphon head thing! I've gone back and forth as to whether or not I want to try a skimmer, if I do I'm definitely trying DIY!

Default Success

I guess it works. After three days with the wooden air diffusor I have collected 15ml of brown liquid.

Default Better Video

I created a better video that shows clearly how this nano skimmer is designed and operated.

The video in the first post no longer exists... possible for an admin to edit that post with this video link?
